Two things to try while I try to grow a clue on what exactly is going on:

1. Related to new ACPI sleep states we've recently made the lid_notifier
locking more sound, maybe that helps:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel/commit/?h=drm-intel-next-queued&id=b8efb17b3d687695b81485f606fc4e6c35a50f9a

2. The new i915 force restore code is indeed missing a safety check
compared to the old crtc helper based one:

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c
index 6eb3882..095094c 100644
--- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c
+++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c
@@ -9153,7 +9153,13 @@ void intel_modeset_setup_hw_state(struct drm_device *dev,
 
 	if (force_restore) {
 		for_each_pipe(pipe) {
-			intel_crtc_restore_mode(dev_priv->pipe_to_crtc_mapping[pipe]);
+			struct drm_crtc * crtc =
+				dev_priv->pipe_to_crtc_mapping[pipe];
+
+			if (!crtc->enabled)
+				continue;
+
+			intel_crtc_restore_mode(crtc);
 		}
 
 		i915_redisable_vga(dev);

The issue is that we save a pointer to the fb (since those are refcounted)
but copy the mode into the crtc struct (since modes are not refcounted).
So on restore the mode will always be non-NULL, which is wrong if the crtc
is off (and so also has a NULL fb).

The problem I have with that patch is figuring out how this ever worked. I
think I need more coffee ;-)

Cheers, Daniel
